who will go far
depending on how formal you want to be
or a "high flyer"

I think it is a repetition of the same sentiment in German as well, so
maybe "a colleague with excellent prospects who will go far"
or a "high flyer"

Note from asker:
| I think this applies more to the last part of the sentence "mit guten beruflichen Perspektiven", doesn't it? |
| Yes, I think you're right. However, for me "förderungswürdig" also appeals somehow to a future employer to offer a higher position or support to the person. But perhaps this goes too far ... |
| Thanks WML for your competent and fast help! I chose your suggestion for the second part of the sentence. |

promising employee
Not very literal, but I think that's what they are trying to say, i.e. worthy of encouragement since she is likely to do well.
